bandit

The way the band works if you are properly restricted it is suposed to help you not over eat and stay satisfied longer. There can always be head hunger even for those with good restriction; but I dont think if someone has proper restrictin they should be able to eat an entire chipotle bowl. I'd say you dont have enough restriction and you need a fill if you are eating that much and feeling hungry soon after meals.

how much weight do you have to lose. If you have a lower BMI I have heard that people get platued like your discribing and that people with higher BMIs lose more consistantly (that is until they become lower BMI's lol) Keep your head up and keep truckin! Youll get threw this platue and Boom! Youll be losing again!

I am wondering about the scars that are left on the tummy after banding. Does anyone know where i can see some pictures post opp? I would love to see some post opp, 1month, 6 months, 1yr, so on. Also if u just want to discribe yours i would be glad to hear about them. I have seen Lisa's scars after her opperation with DR Billy, they r looking much much better! Thank u so much for sharing!! It would be great to see scars where someone did not have complications too.

I like the pic u called your funny pic. U just look like your so happy. Beautiful.
